aegiscode@6.8.18

⚠ Under review

aegiscode — the command-line version of AEGIS Desktop. The shared tool surface in your shell, over the same thin transport and tool registry as the MCP plugin and the desktop app. Ships transport + UI only; no brain.

5 * `aegiscode` — the AEGIS terminal host.

6 *

7 * Third host over the same two shared pieces the other two use: the thin

8 * transport (client/aegis.js) and the tool registry (mcp/tools.js). The MCP

9 * host answers a coding agent's tool calls; the desktop is a window; this is

10 * the shell. None of them owns a brain — routing, tiers, memory and billing all

11 * stay behind aegiscloud.org.

12 *

13 * This file is argument parsing and process lifecycle only. Everything

14 * testable lives in ../src/app.js.
